Cretification

/ˌkrɛtɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/ noun

Definition

The process of becoming chalk-like or forming chalk deposits; the geological transformation of sedimentary materials into cretaceous substances.

Etymology

From cretify (to make chalk) plus the suffix -ation, indicating a process or transformation. Follows standard pattern like calcification and petrification.

Kelly Says

Cretification explains how vast regions like the White Cliffs of Dover formed—billions of tiny marine organisms died and their shells compressed over millions of years into pure chalk.
